Question

What number should be added to -5/12 to get 7/6

Answer 1

Answer:

= 7/6 - (-5/6)

=L. C. M = 12

= 14 - ( - 5 ) /12

= 19 / 12

Therefore, the required no. to be added with -5/12 to get 7/6 is 19/12.

Answer 2

GIVEN: Number is -5/12  sum of two number is 7/6

TO FIND: the other number

SOLUTION:

Sum of the two numbers is $\frac{7}{6}$.

What we should add $\frac{-5}{12}$ so we can get $\frac{7}{6}$.

According to the question

We don't know the other number so we have supposed it as x.

$\frac{-5}{12}$ + x = $\frac{7}{6}$

x = $\frac{7}{6}$ + $\frac{5}{12}$

Now we will take the LCM of 6,12 and is 12.

x = $\frac{14 + 5 }{12}$

x = $\frac{19}{12}$.

So, the number i$\frac{9}{12}$.

The number which should be added to $\frac{-5}{12}$ get $\frac{7}{6}$ is $\frac{19}{12}$.
